Basically I'm shooting for max of 2,000 spent on the kit itself then the rest on labor if I have it my way ill spend closer to 1,100-200 but I'm looking for quality used parts that are going to last me ill probably have whatever used turbo I get rebuild probably buy fuel injectors bov and waste gate new and see if I can run across some good deals on here for the rest unless I stumble across a complete kit on here for sale in good condition from a reputable seller

See thats just the thing, Godspeed turbos are hit or miss. Im currently running a Godspeed 60-1 and have had no problems, boosted 13psi and pulled 303hp and 306tq for over 2 years. Previously I was running the turbonetics kit and the turbonetics turbo's seals blew out twice in six months. I would stay as far away from turbonetics as you can and at least consider the godspeed 60-1. Im not saying its the best turbo by far, but for the money, it cant be beat. I had to find a cheap alternative to get my tc back on the road when the turbonetics blew out.....again.

Huh well I will definitely keep that in mind I'm thinking that every manufacturer makes a few lemons as they do with everything else what I plan on doing I'd keeping a spare rebuild kit and seals for whichever I end up going with so if I need them I've already got it the rebuild loud also seem to be pretty reasonably priced

One thing I learned the hard way is that you'll always spend more than you want to when boosting. Problems arise and you wanna have enough funds to take care of them. If you estimate $1100-1200 for labor, you should have at least $2000 saved for misc expenses and emergency repairs. I budgeted around $8k for my build and have already surpassed the $9k mark with misc repairs and parts/labor.

What ended up putting you over budget?

Travel back and forth to the tuner (2.5 hr round trip made 3 times), tuner not knowing how to tune the tc, 5 sets of spark plugs, new clutch + install, rental car for when mine was out of commission while I made repairs. This is just a few. Hopefully I won't have any more problems moving forward.

It REEEALLLLY helps if you aren't boosting your daily, or if you have access to a spare ride.

I gotcha yeah my tuner and dyno is an hour and a half away but he's done a few Tc and the clutch will be done before I boost the car I've got my fingers crossed that I don't run into any major road blocks

Yea, I upgraded my clutch before also, but it started showing early signs of slipping toward higher rpms. It was completely random and only started after the tuner failed to tune me the 3rd time.
